A challenge was made to the Bible that God lies and contradicts Himself in prophecy. The best of Dan 7 is slain, his body destroyed, and burned in the flame. The beast of Rev 13, which is the beast of Rev 19, says he is cast alive into the lake of fire. Since both are true then obviously by faith in God and His word they cannot be the same beast and they aren't. The beast of Daniel has 10 horns, but of Rev 13 has 7 heads and 10 horns and 10 crowns.
Having to disprove the accusation against the Bible I realized I have been sloppy in reading it. The scarlet beast of Rev 17 has 7 heads and 10 horns but no crowns and so there are 3 beasts prophesied. And Satan the red dragon has 7 heads 10 horns and 7 crowns which means none of them are the same.
If just having ten horns is enough to say one beast is the same as another then that means the red dragon is those beasts and he will be slain, destroyed bodily, burned in flames, cast into the lake of fire and shut up in the pit of hell all at the same time. And a thousand years later will be cast into the lake of fire again. Now that's what I call a second and third death.
Rereading Dan 7 also shows that beast will be burned in flames of hell, before cast into the lake of fire.
Now we can read the prophecies knowing none of those beasts are the same nor are they they Satan the red dragon.
